JOHN LINDBEBG, OF SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA.

CORNUCOPIA-HOLDER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed July 7, 1914.. Serial No. 849,423.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN LINDBERG, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city and county of San Francisco and State of California, have invented new and useful Improvements in Cornucopia-Holders, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to holders for confections and particularly for cornucopias.

It is an ob ect of the invention to provide a holder in which cornucopias may be carried without handling, are protected from flying dust, and are so held as not to'be crushed.

An important object is to provide a holder of the most inexpensive construction; and particularly to provide an efficient holder including a comon stock paper bag.

The invention consists of the parts and the construction and combination of parts as hereinafter more fully described and claimed, having reference to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective of the holder as used. Fig. 2 shows the seat member.

2 indicates a paper bag, the walls of which are preferably slit at the top, as at 3, to form edge covering tongues or flaps 4:, on each edge of the bag, and wide handle flaps 5, on each side of the bag at the top, for the purpose shortly to be described.

6 indicates a strip of cardboard, or other suitable material, which is transversely scored, as at 7, to provide the bendable end parts or legs shelf portion 10 having one or more perforations 11 to receive the cornucopias 12.

The card strips and bags may be stacked and sold in knocked-down or flattened out shape. When to be used the card strip is bent along the score marks, with the legs 9 pointing the same direction and inserted into" 9 and the central supporting an open bag 2 and resting on the bottom of the bag, the walls of which form a wedgeshaped seat for the card strip; The cornucopias 12 may then be inserted in the holes in the shelf 10. The flaps 44= of the bag are next folded inwardly over the same to protect the contents and the side flaps 5 are then brought together to form a handle.

The device is extremely simple and useful.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patout is 1. In a confection holder, an inverted V- shaped member having an opening in its top to receive a cornucopia, the free ends of the member being movable toward each other and engaged with the sides of the cornucopia, and a bag to receive said member, said bag being of V-shape so as to receive the free ends of said member to hold same in engagement with the cornucopia, the top of the bag having ends which overlap and close the bag mouth and having sides which conver'geand extend over said ends and are folded into engagement with one another to provide a hand grip.

2. In a confection holder, a V-shaped bag, an inverted V-shaped member apertured to receive a cornucopia and being received in said bag and having its sides engaged with the respective opposite sides of the cornucopia to hold the latter against lateral movement, and means on the bag to close the top thereof and to provide a handle therefor.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set \my hand in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

JOHN LINDBERG.
